'''Azanulbizar''' was the [[Dwarves]]' name for a valley between two arms of the [[Misty Mountains]], called '''Nanduhirion''' by the [[Elves]] and the [[Dimrill Dale]] by [[Men]]. Azanulbizar was of vital importance in [[Dwarvish]] history: it was here that [[Durin I|Durin]] first looked on the waters of [[Kheled-zâram]] and was inspired to found [[Khazad-dûm]]. It was here, too, millennia later, that Dwarves destroyed the armies of the [[Orcs]] to bring an end to the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]].
